Answers to the Most Common Questions that pet parent’s ask us!

Why does my dog or cat need lab testing?

Because our patients cannot tell us how they feel, laboratory diagnostics are essential. Testing helps evaluate biochemical and physiological changes occurring internally, allowing for an accurate and timely diagnosis.

What kinds of lab tests do you offer?

We provide a comprehensive array of diagnostic testing, including: Bloodwork: Evaluates red and white blood cells, platelets, glucose levels, electrolytes, and markers for kidney and liver function. Urinalysis and Fecal Testing: Monitors urinary tract health, assesses renal filtration, and screens for internal gastrointestinal parasites. Screenings: Evaluates for vector-borne diseases (such as tick-related illnesses), heartworm disease, and viral conditions like FeLV and FIV. Specialty Diagnostics: Includes skin cytologies, ear swabs, and pancreatic biomarker tracking.

How fast can I get my pet’s test results?

Our clinic is equipped with an on-site diagnostic laboratory suite. This allows us to perform different diagnostics in-house and promptly relay the results to you, supporting timely implementation of a treatment plan when needed.

Do lab tests replace things like X-rays or ultrasounds?

No, laboratory testing and diagnostic imaging are complementary tools. While bloodwork and fluid tests evaluate the biochemical and cellular functions of internal systems, X-rays and ultrasounds allow us to view the physical size, shape, and structure of organs.

Why does my pet need bloodwork before getting anesthesia?

It lets us check your pet's internal organs. We look closely at the liver and kidneys. This tells us if it is safe for your pet to go to sleep. It is an essential step for safe surgery.
